[Q] Set a different default theme? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
is there a way to set a different default theme instead of the theme Hexo?
so that the first boot of the rom does not start the Hexo theme, but any other theme
thanks to anyone who responds

settings -> themes -> pick another theme and set it.

I did not mean this

what are you implying to then ? If you set a theme via the theme manager in settings it should automatically have that theme from every boot up.

No you cannot make the theme something else before the first boot.

That's impossible. If you flash a new ROM its only common sense that you have to reinstall all your themes and then re-apply the one you prefer.
Best way is restoring all your app data and settings using titanium backup. Good luck :good:

I cannot remove GTX Sense 2.5 theme

I installed it and now I want to remove it but when I do it says GTX Team GTX Sense 1.7.1 was not completely removed. do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs? I press yes and it still stays there any ideas I even deleted all its files from the phone that I could find
you have to hard reset your phone because the gtx sense mod changes some internal manila files. so back up all of your data then go to start > settings > system > clear storage

build.prop and themes

Quick question. Probably obvious but i don't know.
When i install a new theme will i lose my modified build.prop?
btw i'm planning on installing the 928Droid deodexerrrrrrrr theme and then going back to the 928Droid stock deodexed theme, and then to Incognito

9/10 times.. themes do not affect build.props.
alright thanks. I just noticed when i unzipped the theme file to see what was in it, i saw a system folder with a build.prop file in it.
Now if the theme does change the build prop, can i just replace it with my modified build.prop file once the theme is installed?

FYI the build.prop change all depend on the person who put the theme together. Some have it while others do not. So it is best to look in the *.zip each time prior to installing.
As for your question about changing it after you did install a theme, YES you can. it will have no affect on the theme.
alright thanks.
Also while i got people's attention. What are the odds of bricking my phone when applying a theme? This is my first time doing this
these are the instructions i'm going on
droid-life said:
1. You need to be rooted.
2. You need to have run Koush’s Droid X Bootstrap.
3. You need to have the DeOdexEERR.zip file on your SD card.
4. Open Koush’s DX Bootstrap and boostrap the recovery before rebooting to it.
5. From there, go into “backup / restore” and create a backup.
6. Then choose “install zip from sd card.”
7. Choose “select zip to install” and find the DeOdexEERR.zip.
8. Say “yes” and your phone will deodex and apply the 928Droid theme.
9. Enjoy!

It is very possible. My best suggestion is backup with nandroid.. so if anything do go wrong. Just do a nandroid restore and it will be like nothing ever happened.

Guess it is a matter of opinion on what a brick is. A device stuck in a bootloop or on the M symbol is NOT a brick IMO. With that said as long as you have an nandroid backup and can get into recovery you can get it up and running. Plus with the actual SBF files posted for 2.1 & 2.2 now its very unlikely you'll brick it.
To me a bricked is a device that will no longer function AT ALL. And about the only way you are going to truly brick you device is if you start messing with the locked bootloader as I have seen in person one that is brick. And when I say brick I mean brick it will not even power on, charge, or have a light come on no matter what you do to it.
about to install a theme, but one more quick question.
I have removed skype and blockbuster apps using Titanium backup (not frozen, actually removed) and frozen a couple of other apps.
will this have any negative effects when installing the theme?
never mind. got my answer. I installed the theme and it just reinstalled some of the apps I'd frozen and/or removed

[ROM][CWM][ROOT] (Pics Added + Add-Ons) Smooth Maximus ROM GingerClone v1 [7/7/11]

Welcome to the Second &nd My Second Custom ROM for the Sidekick 4G
This is my Version of a Gingerbread/SGSII Clone that i have put alot of work into and took alot of time to get this theme how i wanted it.
it is HIGHLY Recommended that You update to this ROM From Smooth Maximus X.
For the many that like the SMX Theme and themed apps it will be posted in themes and apps section soon to flash over this ROM
MORE SCREENSHOTS Are HERE !!
INFO
Base: SK4G.KD1/SGS4G.UVKD1 2.2.1
Rooted with Modded Recovery to enable flashing into CWM
Deodexed 100%
All Apps Optimized and zip-aligned
Framework Optimized and Zipaligned
All System apps Up to date
Debloated (Like Smooth Maximus X)
Kernel: Bali 2.2
Modem: KD1
Custom Theme based on Gingerbread made by me (Mostly Built From Xperia Arc, AOSP 2.3, and SGSII 2.3 Gingerbread, With my own little touch)
SGSII System App icons
SGSII Live Wallpapers + More
Nexus S Ringtones and Notification + Added more Alarm Sounds.
Nexus(S) Boot Animation + Custom Nexus Shutdown with sound.
Build.prop Edits (Changed Default Ringtones/Notifications, Changes to improve scrolling + UI performance + much More)
Stock/Default Font
Stock Transitions/Animations
Many init.d tweaks for better overall performance.
Additional INFO
Gallery images will load so fast ! (after first reboot, all tweaks should kick in)
Unlocking has never been so smooth ..
The Only Launchers Included is LauncherPro (Amazing, see in the market to see what its capable of.)
And Touchwiz4.5 Launcher by Fr4gg0r! (Also Amazing, See the Original Thread to See what it can do)
Phone now instantly rings when someone dials out/calls your number
Wifi scan interval inscreased by 20% to save battery (changed from 1 min scan to 1.2 min scan)
Most apps are stock (Unthemed, but with themed icons from SGSII)
AOSP Apps: Email, Clock, Calculator.
Some apps themed to look like SGSII Twiz and not the Custom SK4G Twiz (nothing too much)
For those who care about quadrant scores you can get anything from 1250-1550 Just like with Smooth Maximus X
Overall this ROM is Based on Smooth Maximus X which is very fast, but i've made ALOT of changes and testing the edits i made. Things like apps staying in memory, scrolling stutters, pulldown stutters and Much more have been improved and i honestly dont see how it can get better from here (But you decide lol). This will be my flagship ROM so if/when i come up with ideas/mods/tweaks it will be updated for this ROM and Not Smooth Maximus X unless i decide to make time for it.

A - Yes you Have to Wipe but if you dont want to loose that data you can Make a nandroid Backup before wiping your Data, Follow the install instructions and install the ROM.

Install Instructions: Read Carefully.
* First Off, its ALWAYS good to keep a nandroid backup incase you run into a problem.
if you dont already know how to, Do it From CWM recovery. Go to Backup/restore > Backup and it will backup your phone system ,data ect and you can restore it back to this state From CWM whenever you want. *

Click to collapse
Flash though CWM - Just Like Smooth Maximus X
Instructions -
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM
*Now before you Flash, Only if this is your FIRST time Flashing a Custom ROM otherwise ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS THIS IS your First time installing a custom ROM) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AFTER THE ROM BOOTS, i Recommend letting it sit for about 5 mins without use so cache and stuff builds back up, then log into google from gmail/market or someway, let google sync for 5 mins then reboot again. then you will have your Sidekick 4G in the best state its ever been

One thing I noticed... in the dock, the icons grow in size... I know, sounds crazy, but look at the phone icon.. tiny, contacts a little bigger, etc...
EDIT: They don't grow... the phone and contacts icons are just a Tad to small and don't match.
sent from my Note
Everything looks a ton better, but Tapatalk app crashes now for some reason. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still crashes when opening.
Any thoughts?
Installed and i like it, Thanks, I want only revert back Phone and Contacts apk icon to original (only icons) and statusbar expanded not transparent but black. How can i do?
OP, you around? Can you make an update with the correct size phone and contacts icon? Its all good if not, would be nice though. Thanks for the nice theme... its great to have true ics colors instead of the ugly green (my opinion, don't freak).

[Q] custom gapps with purchased apps

i want to make a custom gapps.zip with purchased apps. its only for my own phone (same google-acount). i dont want to reinstall all apps, it needs to many time.
how can i extract/porting purchased apps from my phone for a custom gapp-zip?
i only know, i can use an original gapp-zip but cant rezip it, have to open it with winrar and drag`n`drop it... right?
i want to do this because i want to be the maintainer of the HTC One X (endearovu) and dont have a second one... not enough money... but next month i buy a second
its NOT for ilegal use!!!
You can make a new one for your system and user apps. If you know anything about using adb you can manually make flashable zips of your apps and read how to use adb from here.
http://varunbpatil.github.io/2013/03/02/apps-zip/
If you want to use an app to automatically do it you can try ZipMe app from the Google Play Store. I don't know how good it is. I use titanium backup most times. Test it on one app first. ZipMe has worked on my phone.
Make a zip of apps or data or apps + data and then copy it to sd card or to a usb storage then you can flash it using a custom recovery or some other way. Titanium Backup Pro can do it but it's the paid version that has the extra things like making zips.
You can make a nandroid backup then use the nandroid manager app to extract apps and data from the nandroid backup.
I would wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing any zips before restarting or while in recovery before starting

Go to Menu, Batch Actions.
Make a backup of any apps and data you want.
Go to Menu, Batch Actions.
In Recovery spot create an update.zip
Select the apps you want and name the zip.
Don't select exclude system APKs
Check sign with Zip file (with zipsigner)
It goes into sdcard folder then you can flash the file when you want to.

I can't get it to let me install the courier, and app force closes if i try to install that one. I can't install that font again to see which of the two it is. It is one of those from the app Font Installer root.

The font looks a little different on one deathnote than the tablet ? I use CloudyG3 rom , dorimamx kernel and twrp recovery. I like to switch between different roms and try different ones so i have ways to backup and restore everything to new one.

thats a great thing to switch but i am more PAC rom specific link
jyes if you see the fine deathnote font on a 10" screen with 1280x800 where the fine lines betwen the pixels goes lost and see the font (theoretical... dont works ) on a 720p screen with 4,7" that can show the fine lines...
however it feels stupid to use an tablet with a lower resolution than my phone...
